Year-Round Recreation in Vermont
Vermont's unique patchwork of forests, farms and small towns ensures that you're never too far from civilization – and there's always something going on.

Of course, there are the outdoor winter activities – Nordic and alpine skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, ice skating and ice fishing. During spring, summer and fall, you'll find gorgeous hiking trails, bike paths and places to paddle your kayak or canoe. Sportsmen can take advantage of fishing and hunting opportunities in serene surroundings with fresh air and clean water.

The life of the mind has special prominence as well: Vermont attracts artists and artisans of all kinds. Hundreds of venues host world-class music, visual arts, puppetry, theater and poetry readings – often in more intimate settings than urban areas provide.

And at the heart of the countryside, of course, is Vermont's farming heritage. The Green Mountain State is one of the few places in America where the small family farm can still thrive. From the ubiquitous roadside stands to the weekly town farmers' markets to the annual country fairs and harvest festivals, fresh, delicious (and often organic) local food is always at hand. Vermont's maple syrup and artisanal cheeses are famous around the world.
